ARM TURNS

LEFT ARM TURN: Starting formation - facing dancers. Dancers join left forearms and walk forward around each other the distance specified; e.g. half (180°), three quarters (270°), full (360°), etc.

RIGHT ARM TURN: Like left arm turn except dancers turn with the right forearm.

STYLING: The arms are held past the wrist but not past the elbow joint. Each dancer places his hand on the inside of the arm of the person with whom he is to work. The fingers and thumb are held in close. The center of the turn will be at the joined arms, so, while turning, each dancer is moving equally around the other.

TIMING: Full around, 8; three quarters, 6; one half, 4; one quarter, 2.
